Various contamination-sensitive materials can be handled within The LabconcoProtector Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box

Protector Controlled Atmosphere Glove Boxes provide a leak-tight environment to perform work with contamination-sensitive materials under vacuum or in an inert environment.

Each model is precisely constructed out of two types of material

The fiberglass-lined models feature a one-piece molded fiberglass liner with clear acrylic inner and outer transfer chamber doors. This model has been performance tested to maintain oxygen levels as low as 0.4 ppm and moisture levels as low as 2 ppm. The oxygen permeation is less than 0.3 ppm/min per ISO 10648-2 and illumination exceeds 120 footcandles.

Auto Pressure Controller Modules

Included with the Protector Controlled Atmosphere Glove Boxes is the Auto Pressure control feature. This provides automatic control of the main chamber pressure (-5 to +5 inches of water gauge), main chamber evacuation and filling cycles (up to 499 cycles), and transfer chamber evacuation and filling cycles (up to 199 cycles). The main chamber vacuum/pressure is regulated, as well as, the transfer chamber pressure. The transfer chamber pressure is to remain between 0 and -29.5 inches of Mercury. This module has a mutable, audible alarm that sounds when pressure/vacuum levels are outside the set limits. Additionally, there is an LCD display to indicate the pressure (in inches of water, inches of mercury, and mBar) of the main chamber and transfer chamber. A three-position foot pedal is used to increase gas/fill, evacuate/decrease gas levels, and turn off gas in the glove box. There is also an input/output port for optional AtmosPure Re-Gen as Purifier.

AtmosPure Re-Gen as Purifier

This gas purifier maintains ultrapure inert atmosphere within the Protector Controlled Atmosphere Glove Boxes. It has the capacity to remove 5 liters of oxygen gas (13,500 ppm) and 660 grams of moisture (water vapor) which is equivalent to 18 million ppm. The regeneration is, in turn, completed in 13 hours. Additionally, the leak rate is ≤ 0.000001 mL/sec.

Protector Controlled Atmosphere Glove Boxes also feature:

Interior left-hand side wall-mounted pass-through plug for on-site installation of an optional accessory such as electrical outlet, RS-232 port, gas/liquid port, or port for oxygen or moisture monitor. The glove box also comes with a pair of neoprene gloves, two 8" (203 mm) ID epoxy-coated aluminum, double grooved glove ports, and two 25-watt fluorescent lights.

AtmosPure Flex Tubing Kit
includes the plumbing to make the connection from the AtmosPure to the glove box. 3/4" (19 mm) ID neoprene-lined flexible tubing. For use with all Protector and Precise glove boxes, single width and double width

AtmosPure 9-Pin Oxygen/Moisture Cable
is required for use when the AtmosPure is used in AUTO mode. Allows for automatic control of the AtmosPure blower from an accessory Oxygen or Mositure Monitor (not included).
